Verse 6.94.36

कुम्भ उवाच ।
एतावन्मात्रकं वृन्दं यदि न त्वं महीपते ।
जडत्वात्तन्महाबुद्धे योऽसि तद्वद मेऽनघ ॥ ३६ ॥

kumbha uvāca |
etāvanmātrakaṃ vṛndaṃ yadi na tvaṃ mahīpate |
jaḍatvāttanmahābuddhe yo'si tadvada me'nagha || 36 ||

Kumbha replied:—If you are none of these material objects as you say, nor doth your egoism consist in materiality; then tell me prince, what you think yourself to be in reality.
